Why Self Directed
1. Own an income-producing asset. Read any investment book, talk to any investment advisor and most agree – diversify some of your money into an income producing asset that is real – you can touch it and see it. It is not a paper stock where the value could vanish in tough economic times. We can help you set up your account and purchase an income producing townhome quickly and easily.
2. It’s safer then stocks and bonds right now. Many of you have seen the value of your mutual fund and stock accounts shrink dramatically. Real estate property values will rise and fall with the economy, but over the long run it goes up. In addition to the appreciation profits, and more importantly, your investment produces income every month. Buy a rental property, take the monthly income checks and set a target sales price. When the value reaches your target sales price – in six months or ten years – sell it and make the appreciation profit as a bonus.

The tax advantages of running your real estate investments through an IRA account add up to greatly increased profits over time.
It’s a great time to buy real estate. The most basic rule of investing is: buy low and sell high. The recent real estate downturn has created some great opportunities to buy real estate at a discount. We see a big trend in the rental market demand in the foreseeable future. There are many market forces coming together to create the scenario for owning rental properties.
- It is difficult for people to get loans. The lending standards have tightened dramatically and made it much more difficult for potential homebuyers to buy a home. All of these potential homebuyers need to live somewhere – Rental Properties.
- It is difficult for builders to get financing to develop and build new homes. Starts are down dramatically and as existing inventory diminishes, very few new homes are being built.
- Real Estate is local. Real estate is based on supply and demand – in a local area. It does not matter if there are thousands of empty homes in Florida, if your rental property happens to be located in an area where there is an influx of people and a shortage of rental properties. The empty houses in Florida and California are completely irrelevant. Housing is based on local supply and demand.
Timberhawk is currently building several rental projects in the Uintah Basin, located in Eastern Utah. The area is a hotbed for natural gas drilling and has one of the highest job growth numbers in the country.
6. It is a great hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. In an inflationary economy or in times of currency devaluation, hard assets hold their value. That is why you see the price of gold and silver move inversely to the economy. Real estate is a hard asset with intrinsic value that provides a human necessity - shelter. It will always hold its value much better then paper money or stocks.
